Events April 2010

From approximately April to July the Whalesharks visit the waters surrounding Exmouth. They generally arrive just after the second coral spawning until the end of June or beginning of July but being a natural occurrance there are no set dates. The Whalesharks congregate to the Ningaloo Reef to feed on microscopic creatures known as zooplankton, which gives many international and national visitors the chance to snorkel and dive with the worlds biggest fish.   Costs range from $360 - 395 approximately depending upon location, company, hire equipment, and the optional reef dive. Please contact the Exmouth Visitor Centre for further information and to make a booking on 1800 287 328.
